Chapter 171 The Confrontation 

Chapter 171 The Confrontation 

Rachel stared in shock at the small emerald guardian angel pendant in Isabel’s hand. 

“That belongs to Xander! He wore it all the time when he was little. How did it end up with you?” 

Isabel turned, raising an eyebrow at Rachel, who looked like she’d been hit by a truck–face twisted, eyes wide with disbelief. 

It’s just an emerald guardian angel pendant, right? Sure, Xander wore it as a kid, but was that really a reason for her to look like she wanted to tear me apart 

Isabel didn’t know that when she was a child, she had once touched Xander’s emerald guardian angel pendant, and he had kicked her out of the villa. Even though it was for Ivana’s sake, he wouldn’t let her 

stay. 

So, when she saw the pendant hanging around Isabel’s neck just now, it instantly triggered a flood of memories. She was transported back to her childhood, remembering when Xander had sent her away for a month, not allowing her to return. 

“I get it now! You stole it!” she yelled, convinced. 

Yeah, that had to be it! 

She admitted that Xander treated Isabel differently, but she couldn’t believe that he would pamper her to the extent of giving her the emerald guardian angel pendant. 

After all, she, his childhood friend, wasn’t even allowed to touch it. 

So, it had to be that Isabel had stolen it 

“You’re crazy,” Isabel said, shooting Rachel a bemused glance. She closed her eyes and basked in the afternoon sunlight. 

The light danced with the swing sway, and Isabel let go of her worries, enjoying the peaceful moment. 

Meanwhile, Rachel stood nearby, her face contorting even further as her teeth ground together. Finally. she reached her breaking point. 

Without warning, she lunged forward and yanked the pendant from Isabel’s neck. 

“Hss-“Isabel winced, clutching her neck, and whipped around to glare at Rachel. 

“You are seriously out of your mind!” Her gaze dropped to the pendant in Rachel’s grip. 

“Give it back. Now” Her voice was ice–cold, leaving no room for argument. 

Ha! Give it back? This thing was never yours in the first place!” Rachel sneered, turning to leave with the pendant. 

Isabel took a deep breath, her starry eyes narrowing with chilling coldness. 

Rachel had truly pushed her to the edge! She had already suspected that Rachel was behind what

Fine, If she wanted a light, shed get one. 

With lightning speed, Isabel darted forward, blocking he’s par 

Rachel looked at her warily. “What do you dink you’re 

Before she could finish, Isabel slapped her hand. 

Smack! The sound echoed as Rachel staggered, falling to the ground in pain, 

“Ahhh! That hurts–so much Rachel shrieked, clutching her cheek. 

Ignoring her screams, Isabel snatched the pendant back 

“That’s mine! Give it back Rachel screeched, eyes blazing 

Isabel raised her hand mockingly, “This is yours.” And then she slapped her again. 

This slap was for Yvette–whether or not Rachel had actually done anything to her that night, she’d earned it for what she’d done at the bar. 

Rachel clutched her face, which was surely swelling now despite not needing a mirror to know it. 

“Isabel, I’m going to kill you!” Rachel scrambled to her feet, all semblance of grace and composure forgotten. With her long, sharp nails, she lunged at Isabel’s face, intent on tearing it apart. 

Isabel’s expression remained emotionless as she lifted her foot and kicked Rachel in the stomach. 

“Ahh-“Rachel screamed in pain, collapsing to the ground. 

The noise was too loud to ignore, and by the time Xander and Samuel arrived, they walked in just in time to witness the scene. 

“What’s going on here?” Xander asked, brows furrowing 

“Xan! Ahhh! Xan! She hit me! Look what she’s done to me.” Rachel rushed over to Xander, grabbing onto his arm with a pitiful expression. 

Xander recoiled in disgust, pulling his arm away from her grip. Without sparing her another glance, he walked straight toward Isabel. 

Seeing this scene, Rachel felt a surge of satisfaction as she looked at Isabel, thinking, Dare to hit me and get caught by Xander? Let’s see how you explain yourself today. 

Isabel raised her brows slightly, her expression unreadable. She knew Xander cared for her, but Rachel was Ivana’s daughter and his childhood friend. Beating her so blatantly was a bit disrespectful to Xander. Still 

Even if she had to do it again, she would still lay hands on Rachel without hesitation. 

Before Xander could reach her, Isabel spoke up first. “Thit her. She deserved it.” 

Xander stopped in his tracks. “Next time, don’t hit anyone yourself.”

Isabel’s lips pressed together, and for a moment, an uncomfortable feeling surged inside her. After a brief pause, she looked up at Xander, ready to say something, but before she could speak, Xander’s voice cut in first. 

“IF you want to hit someone again, just tell me, and I’ll handle it for you.” Xander’s gaze softened as he looked at her, his eyes full of tenderness, as if she were the entire world.
